Can't Tame a Fire

I can talk my way out of trouble with a smoke and a smile But she dealt me a handful and played along for awhile But when I woke up to goodbye, coffee black with pain! She left me she found me half empty again I ran for a remedy, whatever fit the bill and I followed the script closely whiskey, women, and pills Still the heart ache lingers on as I run myself down Cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out! Chorse Sometimes there ain't better way around, everyone got something to say to how to make the flame go down, but there all the same as me in secret filled with doubt, cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out!! Mmmhmmmmm! And here I am living backwards chained to the past, days spent running through memories and old photographs and all the colors and majestic, pale yellow and blues, I've gotta let em all go to forget about you! Chorse Whoooo, hooooop!! Whoooooo hooooo But there all the same as me in secret filled with doubt, oh you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out! No you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out whhooohoo!
